Customer Reviews Privo by Clarks Kulin

The foot bed of the shoes feels fabulous. Little tight around the rim until broken in. I would definitely but this brand again.

These looked pretty cute, although the toe box was rather broad and clunky. I probably would have kept them, except that both top inside edges cut into my foot. Maybe they just needed breaking in and softening up a bit, but I wasn\'t willing to take a chance. I sent them back.

Very comfy shoe, but the back of the shoe (by your heel) is pretty high. I see that causing blisters, because the rise is a lot higher than most flats. The cushion part of the shoe is SUPER comfy (well known for the brand Privo). These shoes are pretty heavy which is due to the heavy rubber on the bottom and sides of the shoes. I think my foot would get hot in the summer time in this shoe.

This is the second pair of Privo shoes and I have loved both pair. The biggest down side for me is that they get a bit stinky after a while. There is no taking off your shoes and not washing your feet. Ultra comfy and true to size. I usually have a hard time with flats and blisters, but these shoes make my feet very happy, even if they get stinky. I would recommend the brand and this shoe to all my friends and will definately buy more in the future.

Comfortable shoes, and ok in appearance, but very casual. I really didn't care for the rubbery piece at the toe. I was looking for something more for the price.

Not so crazy about this shoe. It is too tight around the top of the foot. I'm keeping them and will try to make it work - I got rid of the box!

This shoe is higher over the toes than it looks. I found you need a half size larger.

I purchased the Privo Kulin in the stone color via Zappos after purchasing the same shoe in black from REI. I love the black ones. The ones I got from Zappos in the stone color are the same size, but were a bit smaller. I had to walk around my home in extra thick socks in order to stretch them out so they would fit better and not cause blisters. Overall, having now adjusted the fit, I enjoy these shoes as much as my black ones.

These are tough. Took these to Europe for 2 weeks. They seemed really comfy at first, but by the end of first day, had blisters on the sides of toes. They seemed wide enough, but just rubbed on the toes. I could just have wide feet. Ended up having to buy shoes over there, which is not cheap! I still kept them, though, because they are really comfy for short durations.

I wanted to love these shoes, and I really tried, but they are horribly uncomfortable. The backs rubbed up and down and the toes rubbed. I inserted a stick on the back so my heel wouldn\'t rub, but it still was very uncomfortable. I also inserted additional arch support that made the shoe too small to wear. If you need inserts, buy a bigger 1\/2 size. I think the color is great and it would have matched a lot of outfits, but I just can\'t wear them. I had to modify them too much and it was still painful to wear.

This is an odd-fitting shoe, and the picture is much cuter than it is on the foot. I went up a half size based on reviews and the length was fine but they were too wide (I have normal width feet). They also made a horrible fart sound when I walked (the air/rubbing on the inside arch). I felt they made me feet look big also. I hate being so negative but I can't find anything positive to say about them. If you have wide feet this probably is a good shoe to try.

Believe all of the other reviews - I had another pair of Privos that I loved and wore into the ground. These feel great at first, but dig into the back of your heel as you walk. I'm trying to break them in with socks to make them feel better. I'm still hoping that eventually they'll feel good without socks.

These are super cute shoes and super comfy on the bottom for my plantar feet, but they cut into the sides and back of my heel so bad I am still debating on returning them! I am so sad because I really like them. But they hurt so bad! Highly disappointed!

The instant I put these on I realized they had to go back. The outer edge dug into my anklebone. Any depression of my foot into the shoe would increase this problem. Other than this the shoe is cute and comfy. Just does not work with my feet. Fit very true to size. I am a true half size and these were perfect. Width a normal width. I have slightly narrow feet and these were a tad wide.

I liked the look, but hated the fit. When I saw these shoes online, I was excited because I thought that they would be cute and comfortable. Unfortunately while I like the look, the cut of the shoe is not comfortable. There is certainly good arch support and padding, but it is too tight in the front of the shoe and in the back, my foot painfully rubs against the heal of the shoe. After wearing them around the house for 10 minutes, I already had a blister starting on my right heel. Back they go to Zappos and I bought Clark's Wave Cruise shoes which are so much better.

The style and color was exactly what I was looking for, so I've kept them, but the sides around the heel are stiff and seem cut too high. So I've had to use moleskin padding to make them wearable. I would love to see this style available again, but with better attention to fabrication.

The shoes are really cute and comfy, except for one thing that actually turned out to be a big problem. Maybe my feet are two different sizes, but the right shoe rubbed the skin off my heel until it actually bled into the back of the shoe. I didn't realize how bad it was until I took the shoe off and saw the blood. If I put band-aids into the backs of my heels, they're OK.

I thought these shoes would be the perfect summertime shoe for hanging around the yard, doing gardening, mowing the lawn, etc. I found after wearing them for three hours that I had a huge blister on my right heel. The back of the sneaker rubs against the heel as I walk. This happened on both shoes. They also felt a bit short in the toe box. I usually take a 7 1/2 and that is the size I got this time. I can't say a size 8 would have helped, as the 7 1/2 was already a bit loose as the back fell up and down on my foot as I walked, thus making the blisters.

Perhaps since I really dislike the appearance of Keens, I should have known better than to order this shoe. They are ugly on the foot, and gape at the sides (although the size seems to be true in terms of length), the stone color has more green in it than brown resulting in a rather ghastly color which does not compliment the perforated part. I will return these and continue the search for a wearable, stylish, comfortable casual shoe. I know its out there in Zappos.

I have a narrow foot, and these shoes were just too wide and bulky for me. But they felt soft and supportive, otherwise! I returned them, though, and am on a search for something similar.

I have relatively high arches and this shoe is very firm. The interior side of the shoe cuts into the front of my feet, I could feel it immediately and will be returning. Too bad because the shoes are very cute, for a sporty ballet flat, but simply not made for someone with high arches.

These shoes are not comfortable and they rubbed blisters on the top and sides of my feet. I have other Privo shoes and have never experienced this problem.

I really wanted to like this shoe but it continues to kill my feet! I love the way they feel on the bottom of my feet...very nice and cushy but on the back of my heels and the side of my piggy toes, ouch! I work a job where I have to continually stand for 8 to 10 hours a day and these only last half a day if that before I have to take them off. I'm still working on them since I threw the box away!

Slick as ice. Anytime I wear these and it is wet or I step into something wet...they slip & slide. I try to remind myself to not wear this out in the rain. They have small oval bumps on the sole. Really stupid design.

These shoes are cute, but the fit is terrible. I cannot wear them at all. They dig into the back of your heel. I will probably go back to buying Merrell's.
